  7. »On a 16:9 display, giving up 10% of your vertical real estate is really stupid. On any operating system, have a toolbar at the top of the screen and another one at the bottom of the screen is awful. It's bad when Mac does it too. The menu bar is a holdover from a time when you could only run one app at a time, and has no place in a proper multitasking OS.«

  10. I absolutely loathe the #Mac's #menubar icons. Having them all black and white makes it nearly impossible to instantly find the icon that you want when you glance in what Windows users would call the "tray" area. But I can find JDownloader, AltTab (soon to be permanently replaced with 1Piece) and Folder Peek in there easily.

    It's just the absolute worst design decision by #Apple. Helps absolutely nothing.

  11. Very happy to pay the $10 upgrade to iStatMenus 7. I’ve been an iStatMenus user for at least a decade. Such an indispensable tool to see what’s going on in my Mac. Look how cool it is! Thanks @bjango!

  17. Nach der undurchsichtigen Übernahme/Verkauf von #BartenderApp wurde es für mich Zeit für etwas neues um meine #macOS #Menubar aufzuräumen:
    `Ice` scheint für meinen Anwendungsfall genau das richtige zu sein. FOSS und seit dem Update gestern auch mit einer separaten Leiste für versteckte Icons.

  19. CW: Big Dumb UX Rant About Menu Bars

    I really don't understand people that are ride or die for menu bars. They're not intuitive and it's hard to know what's under what menu. If it wasn't for people being used to them as a convention, the headers don't make any sense to me. File > Quit? Does that really make intuitive sense to people? :meowdizzy:​ It's also really hard to drill down properly because every menu item gets top billing, unless you have nested menus which are just a pain in the ass to navigate without accidentally clicking off or hovering over the wrong thing.

    To me, macOS's worst aspect is the fact that they built the menu bar into their shell. Is the feature that's crucial to the function of an application in the toolbar of the window you're in? Nope! It's not in the window at all! It's up at the top of the screen for some reason, and who knows what heading it's under. :blobfoxtableflip:​ Apple really needs to merge their operating system offerings into one OS and offer either a desktop mode or a touch mode, but they can't do that because all of their stupid desktop applications rely on a stupid menu bar that's stupid. :meowpout:​

    Also, Cosmic's decision to go with menu bars merged with header bars is really off-putting to me. It feels like the worst of both worlds. :neofox_thonk:​ At least to me, it makes the interface design language look really inconsistent and confused.

    Does any of this actually matter? No. :meowuwu:​ Does it drive me a little insane and make me feel like I'm taking crazy pills when people vehemently defend them as being a good user interface? YES. :blobfoxtableflip:​

  24. Als #MacOS #MenuBar Junkie probiere ich hier und da was aus. Gestern hat Cachy stadt-bremerhaven.de/calendr-m #calendr erwähnt. Dieser hat den #QuickViewCalendar von Jeffrey Morgan sofort verdrängt. Die im Artikel erwähne alternative #itsycal von mowglii kann leider nicht mithalten. Calendr macht genau das was ich mir gewünscht habe. (1/2)

  25. Multiple displays on a Mac sucks

    So many people I've worked with have used multiple displays - typically a matched pair side-by-side - and sworn by them. It's always mystified me, to be honest.

    I've attempted the multi-display lifestyle a few times over the last thirty years. At first as a bourgeois indulgence, back when even having a single 17" display was considered luxurious1, let-alone two displays. Just because I could. Then sporadically over the years in more practical attempts to expand my screen real estate.

  28. How did this conversation go?

    "Put the hamburger menu last, on the right end of the menu bar."

    "OK."

    "Then label it: 'Burger menu'."

    "OK."

    "Now everyone will know what this menu is and what it does."
